THE CASE FOR THE GREEN NEW DEAL - ANN PETTIFOR ...

n 2008  the first Green New Deal was devised by Pettifor and a group of English economist and
thinkers  but was ignored within the tumults of the financial crash. A decade later  the ideas
was revived within the democratic socialists in the US  forefront by Alexandria Ocasio Cortez.
The Green New Deal demands a radical and urgent reversal of the current state of the global
economy: including total de-carbonisation and a commitment to fairness and social justice.
Critics on all sides have been quick to observe that the GND is a pipe dream that could never
be implemented  and would cost the earth. But  as Ann Pettifor shows  we need to rethink the
function of money  and how it works within the global system. How can we bail out the banks but
not the planet? We have to stop thinking about the imperative of economic growth-nothing grows
for ever. The program will be a long term project but it needs to start immediately.
